Let's cast our eyes back to this exact day, the 9th August 2014, but a year earlier.

What were the main tales from that day? What big events were happening in Premier League football?

Here are some of the big scoops from the 9th August 2013…

Eti-In

Tottenham Hotspur completed the signature of Etienne Capoue a year ago today. The French international turned down the advances of fellow Premier League side Cardiff City to agree an €11 million deal to arrive at White Hart Lane.

The combative midfielder was the latest big money signing for the club following on from the likes of Paulinho, Nacer Chadli and Roberto Soldado.

But his first campaign at the club was not ideal. He suffered a serious knee injury early in his Spurs career and spent much of the term on the side-lines. When he didn't he struggled for regular first-team football and his performances were sub-par when present. He will be hoping for a better sophomore year with Tottenham.

With a particularly keen interest for the madcap world of football I have always been known amongst friends as a beacon for bizarre sporting trivia and knowledge. My other passion is for writing and hopefully combining the two will create a superb and entertaining marriage that will create, divide and share opinion.Mathew is a correspondent for the NextGen Series, Ligue 1 and Primeira Liga.
